[EVENT #1] Purikura Photo Mashup! { CLOSED. }

EVENT #1
PURIKURA PHOTO MASHUP

Everyone's heard of purikura, right? Those little photo-thingers you get in the booths in the arcade? Often decorated with handwritten text, sparkles and doodles, they're little photos that you get in sets-- and something that lots of cosplayers like to do when out and about.

{ example 1 }
{ example 2 }
{ example 3 }
{ example 4 }

Your challenge, soldiers, is just this. A purikura mashup/montage of cosplayers from your region!

The task posed to you is make a giant set of purikura or a 'quilt' of handmade purikura photos with images of members of your team.

RULES & GUIDELINES

1.} Just so we can get some consistency, each purikura 'photo' must be 150 px wide, 200 px in length. Incidentally, this is also the max size for CNZ avatars! Hmm. Interesting.
2.} The finished result must be one image with all of the member's submissions connected. How you do this can be discussed in your respective team's planning threads!
3.} Nothing offensive written on them, please. (: The same PG-13 rules apply to these challenges as they do to the forums.
4.} Everyone present in the photo MUST be in cosplay! To ensure this, please record who is cosplaying whom in a list, and submit it with the finished image. If there is a photo found with someone not in costume, the entry is disqualified.
5.} When your team is finished your mashup, please PM the image and above list to seraphik.
6.} You can have as many people as you can fit in one photo, or just a photo of one person. It's up to you! But you can only appear in one photo.
7.} As for the actual photo, you may take one especially for this event, or you can use a photo of yourself in cosplay taken this year in 2009. ONLY PHOTOS FROM 2009 ARE ALLOWED.

YOU WILL BE JUDGED ON;
- ~* participation! *~ [ how many people in your team join in! ] = 200 points
- originality [ crazy photos, interesting decorating! ] = 200 points
- presentation [ the final product! ] = 100 points

total: 500 points at stake!

So the purikura photos we submit to the group photo doesn't have to be taken in a purikura booth and can actually be a photo editing on the computer?

By TinTango. 23/11/09, 04:22 pm

Just to clarify, is the "150 px wide, 200 px in length" restriction, per member or is it the size of the whole one image featuring all members?

By azeria. 23/11/09, 04:43 pm

oh! And is closet cosplay ok? Because I know some people ~~my friends XD~~ don't have any closplays ~~yet~~

By Mandie_Chan. 24/11/09, 12:19 am

I am a little confused by this. My understanding so far is to make a either a collage of cosplay photos, with just one or two people in each photo, OR take one photo of everyone. Thus to satisfy the rule of each person only appearing once.

Is this right?

sorry for the late reply everyone! Dx i only just woke up.

this is PER PURIKURA so the size of the finished image will vary depending on how many you stick together. (:

closet cosplay is fine, as long as it's cosplay!

well the idea is that you can have little groups (like 2, 3, 4 people) for those that want to take photos in groups, and the people who want to take the photo alone can do so too. you're not supposed to take a photo of everyone though, which is why you get lots of little photos to put together at the end. (:

sorry if i'm not explaining this well /still tired orz

Sweeetness. 8D
I'll get to work on mine soon as I finish tidying my room

By Mandie_Chan. 24/11/09, 04:06 am

hey seeing as auckland has more people in their team than any other, are you going to take that into consideration when judging ~* participation! *~ part of the scoring?
(and the same goes for the 2nd and 3rd largest groups)

Mm.
Will it be done as more of a percentage thing? Like.. the team with the greatest percentage of people participating?

By **seraphik**. 24/11/09, 05:05 am

nope! it'll be percentage. teams won't be disadvantaged at any point for having fewer members.

By Mandie_Chan. 24/11/09, 01:35 pm

Do we get points for people in Cosplay from our area but havn't yet signed up for the contest? or do they only count if they have signed up?

By **seraphik**. 24/11/09, 01:37 pm

to make it fair, they have to sign up. (: it's not hard to come on the forums and post, after all! \o

By Mandie_Chan. 24/11/09, 01:38 pm

ok~
So they just need to be signed up before the due date of the event?

By **seraphik**. 04/12/09, 04:25 pm

yup! <3

Pfft, I thought this was two days ago. *fail* >.>

Also, as far as participation goes, could it be a percentage out of the total in the group? 'Cause, while we're not that far behind when it comes to people, we're behind enough... (Especially when you compare us to beasts like Auckas >.>)
